Past and future

This is where having no historical knowledge gets you.

At least some people are trying to learn, I guess. More people need to try harder.

To my grandfather, Irish and Welsh people were definitely not white. They were scum, no better than black people. But he didnโ€™t call them black people.

Lorde would not have been white to my grandfather, being Irish and Croatian by heritage. I know this seems really impossible to some (dumb) people, but this was true for roughly ~100 years in the US.

Anyway, over the long term (100-300 years) I suspect that racism towards brown people will also disappear, and instead weโ€™ll have racism against AIs for a while.
